Letter: More Of Same From Far Right

In a letter to the SR, Tolli Willhite writes re: the Coeur d’Alene city elections: “We have seen the damage that can be done when we have views that only represent a small segment of our area. Last spring, we saw embarrassing statements made by government officials that reflected poorly on our area. We came to the brink of changing how we pay teachers for their hard work. We almost saw a mass exodus of quality experienced teachers because the competitive market was offering better options elsewhere. As a result, we saw the highest school board election turnout ever because citizens began to realize that aggressive partisan agendas have no place in nonpartisan local government leadership. If you were concerned about our schools, you should be more concerned this fall for our city. The same folks are involved with the same tired ideas. Let’s move past the divisiveness of gotcha politics and look toward our future.” More here.

Question: Is it fair to link the type of candidates running on Mary Souza’s Reagan Republican ticket to the previous School Board and its scorched-earth policiies?
